Detailed Embodiments

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model, but are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0029] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0030] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, a front protection device for a cab includes a left cab guardrail 2 installed on the left walkway 1 of the cab, a right cab guardrail 9 installed on the right walkway 10 of the cab, and a front cab guardrail located above the front walkway 8 of the cab; the front cab guardrail is composed of at least one rigid member and at least one flexible member arranged at intervals up and down; both ends of the rigid member are respectively fixed to the left cab guardrail 2 and the right cab guardrail 9 through a first connecting member; both ends of the flexible member are respectively fixed to the left cab guardrail 2 and the right cab guardrail 9 through a second connecting member.

[0032] The following further describes the above-mentioned front cab guardrail.

[0033] Continue to refer to Figure 1 shown, the front cab guardrail is composed of a rigid member at the top and a plurality of flexible members located below the rigid member; the installation position of the rigid member is approximately at the top of the left cab guardrail 2 and the right cab guardrail 9.

[0034] It should be noted that the reason why the top of the guardrail is a rigid member is that when a person walks through the front walkway of the cab, they can hold the rigid member to walk steadily; if the top of the guardrail is a flexible member, there will be a shaking phenomenon when a person holds the flexible member, which may cause unstable walking and thus there is a risk of falling from the front walkway 8 of the cab.

[0035] The following further describes the connection between the above-mentioned rigid member and the left and right cab guardrails.

[0036] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown in the figure, the rigid component is the connecting rod 7. At the top of two vertical rods on the front sides of the left cab guardrail 2 and the right cab guardrail 9, there is a first connecting component welded at the same height. The connecting rod 7 consists of a straight round tube 7-2 and bent plates 7-1 fixed to the end faces at both ends of the straight round tube 7-2. Through holes are provided on the bent plates 7-1. The first connecting component includes an ear plate I 2-1, a threaded seat 2-2, and a bolt 4. The ear plate I 2-1 is welded to the left cab guardrail 2 and the right cab guardrail 9 respectively. The threaded seat 2-2 is welded to the ear plate I 2-1. After the through holes at both ends of the connecting rod 7 are aligned with the threaded holes on the threaded seats 2-2 on both sides, the connecting rod 7 is fixed to the first connecting components on both sides by screwing the bolt 4.

[0037] It should be noted that the first connecting component further includes a washer 3. The bolt 4 is inserted through the washer 3 and the through hole and then screwed into the threaded hole.

[0038] For a further solution, continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the through holes provided on the bent plates 7-1 are oblong holes, which can adjust the axial position of the connecting rod 7 during the assembly of the connecting rod 7.

[0039] The connection between the above-mentioned flexible component and the left and right cab guardrails will be further described below.

[0040] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the flexible component is a chain 6. At the middle and lower parts of two vertical rods on the front sides of the left cab guardrail 2 and the right cab guardrail 9, there is a second connecting component welded at the same height. The second connecting component includes an ear plate II 2-3 with a through hole and a carabiner 5. The ear plate II 2-3 is welded to the left cab guardrail 2 and the right cab guardrail 9 respectively. Both ends of the chain 6 are connected to the corresponding ear plate II 2-3 through a carabiner 5.

[0041] The connection method of the above-mentioned left and right cab guardrails will be further described below.

[0042] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown in the figure, mounting plates are welded to the bottom of the vertical rods of the left cab guardrail 2 and the right cab guardrail 9. A plurality of mounting holes are provided on the mounting plates. The left cab guardrail 2 is assembled on the left cab walkway 1 and the right cab guardrail 9 is assembled on the right cab walkway 10 through a plurality of bolts 4 and washers 3.

[0043] It should be noted that in this embodiment, one connecting rod 7 and two chains 6 are assembled between the left cab guardrail 2 and the right cab guardrail 9. Of course, in actual design, it is not limited to the above quantity, and it can also be designed as two connecting rods and three chains.

[0044] The assembly process of the above-mentioned front protective device for the cab is as follows:

[0045] As Figure 1 shown, first, the left guardrail 2 of the cab is assembled on the left walkway 1 of the cab through bolts 4 and washers 3, the right guardrail 9 of the cab is assembled on the right walkway 10 of the cab through bolts 4 and washers 3, the connecting rod 7 is assembled on the left guardrail 2 and the right guardrail 9 of the cab respectively through bolts 4 and washers 3, and then the chain 6 is assembled on the left guardrail 2 and the right guardrail 9 of the cab through climbing buckles 5. Finally, the front protective device for the cab is assembled on the walkway.

[0046] In summary, the present utility model discloses a front protective device for a cab, including a left guardrail of the cab, a connecting rod, a right guardrail of the cab, and a chain. The connecting rod is fixed to the left and right guardrails of the cab through bolts and washers, and the chain is fixed to the left and right guardrails of the cab through climbing buckles.
